> Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.

Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump up those numbers.

I’m probs a coomer because I’d average 80/ month.

Are you a teenager??

24, recently single.

I'm more surprised that the "Gigachad" username was still available on HN until 2021.

Even in 2023, "HangingChad" probably dominates the discourse ...

I'm not entirely sure an HN user is more likely to identify as a gigachad than as Galen Erso. ;)

I'm 58 - Based upon this article, it appears I'm going to love, I mean live forever!

In my early 40s and have become a lot lazier/more lame than you in this department. It’s a need that needs to be fulfilled and it does but, it doesnt occupy my mind like when I was a teenager or in my early 20s and in a way i’m grateful for it. It seems I may be on the hook for prostate issues. A grandparent and uncle had prostate cancer so it’s up there in my history.

Seriously, it might be time to give yourself a rest.

My numbers are between 28-31 times a month, depending on the month.

How's your hand?

Of course, this is correlational. There could be a 3rd variable, like "overall being healthy" which causes both.

they claim to have controlled for that. you may share my skepticism of the accuracy of such a claim.

I was surprised to find this article because I believed it was an established fact, causation mechanism (hypertrophy due to inactivity) included.

Maybe I have mistaken it for other effects, like some people my age awakening three times a night. More good news, anyway.

What if unhealthy people ejaculate less for numerous reasons?

In other news, men with lower rates of prostate cancer have higher rates of repetitive strain injuries.

If every 7 times per month your risk decreases by 31%, the average HN user might have less than 1% risk.

Based on what exactly?

Joke went over your head, bro.

To respond in the same vein : “No bra, you didn’t get my joke”
